Yesterday, we featured the iSkin CERULEAN TX + RX Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter & Receiver. Today, we have the highly desirable CERULEAN X1 In–Ear Noise Isolating Earphones ($99.99) as part of our final iSkin Giveaway. While the stock iPhone/iPod earphones do the job for the most part, there’s no denying that owning a pair of quality earphones will make your iDevice THAT much more enjoyable – be it for music, movies or gaming. The CERULEAN X1, iSkin’s top of the line earphones, are designed to deliver audiophile sound quality as well as for optimal comfort (3 silicon ear-buds of different sizes are included). The X1 also boasts a “closed air design” that helps keep the music in and surrounding noise out, thus ensuring that your audio entertainment won’t be disrupted even when your mom-in-law is yakking away. For your chance to win this pair of awesome X1 earphones, simply participate in our forums to enter. Full contest details after the break!

While iSkin are best known for their cases and protective accessories, they also have some popular and well-received products in their premium CERULEAN line. Today’s giveaway features the CERULEAN TX + RX ($129.99), two tiny gizmos that will allow you to play music from your iPod, iPhone, MAC, PC and even other mobile phones wirelessly up to 30 feet (via Bluetooth) on essentially any iPod-specific speaker dock. If you’re using an iDevice with support for bluetooth (iPhone 3G/3GS, iPod Touches 2/3G), you simply pair it with the dockable CERULEAN RX to begin streaming music. For other devices without bluetooth support (iPod Classics, Nanos, 1st Gen iPhone/ iPod Touch etc), the TX Stereo Bluetooth Transmitter will add wireless audio functionality and allow it to pair up with the RX receiver. With the TX + RX combo, this iSkin wonder will give you wireless freedom and allow you to enjoy your music just about anywhere.
